2.17 Optional Cutting Procedure
In order to achieve maximum production rates with Super Series mills; it may be desirable to leave the blade
engaged when returning the carriage. (Normal operation procedures recommend disengaging the blade
before returning the carriage for maximum blade life and fuel economy.)
DANGER!
If leaving the blade engaged for maximum production rates, make
sure the off-bearer stays out of the path of the blade. Failure to do so will
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
If you choose to leave the blade engaged; raise the blade to clear
the log before returning the carriage. Failure to do so may cause damage to
the blade and/or sawmill.
2.18 Blade Height Scale
See Figure 2-13.
The blade height scale is attached to the carriage head frame. It includes:
a blade height indicator
an inch scale
a quarter scale
The scales are attached to the frame and move up and down with the carriage head. The blade indicator,
used to read the inch and quarter scales, remains stationary.
